Lee Miller was a model, fashion photographer, Surrealist artist, adventurer and war correspondent. This exhibition is the first major survey of her photography in more than 25 years, bringing together the defining moments of her extraordinary career.
Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1907, Miller moved to Paris at 20, working both in front of and behind the camera. She pioneered Surrealist techniques and explored daring subjects while photographing leading cultural figures such as Charlie Chaplin and Pablo Picasso.
